Well I am finished with my second Antec 900. I went with the basic front, no aluminium deallies, the wife vetoed them. I ended up with 2 holes I didn't need, and I drilled a couple of holes larger than required. So, more planning required when I start work on my Lian Li A17. I hope people like that mod, I am taking a bunch of different ideas and sort of mashing them together into that case. The best cable managment I can, I plan on mounting a slim DVD drive on the side of the front bezel, I plan on disassembling a Zalman 6 fan controller and also installing it on the side of the front bezel. It has already been disaasembled, need to start drilling holes for it though. A few other items that I will show when they aer installed. AS much as I like the bondo and fiberglass work, I just don't think I want to go that crazy on a case. I might have to build some fan holders through acrylic, but that is better than all of the crazy bondo/paint work I have seen. Here are some photos of the finished 900.
Cheers,
James

I looked at this thread for weeks watching all the cool things you could do with an Antec 900 and then I finally decided to do it to mine.. and I think it looks fairly decent. I took it completely apart and painted everything black with the 30 cent paint from wally world. My dad works in an electric shop.. so I borrowed one of those big beastly hole punches.. so the holes came out beautifully smooth.. I added some felt to the back side though just in case. The holes I added were: the one just in front of the PSU.. I have one almost directly behind the CPU for the little power wire that connects next to the CPU.. and I got a file and filed out a small hole up towards the top-front for the case wires to go around the back.
These are pics from a long time ago.. If I remember when I get home I'll take some better ones xD
I've added another hard drive since then and gotten some shorter silver sata cables and routed them a little nicer than the orange ones. I also may end up reversing the hard drives.. depending on how ambitious I feel lol
And.. it's in a slide show cuz I was bored.. I don't have any individual pics at the moment.. it only lasts about a minute and thirty seconds. This was basically the steps as I went through.. I may try to take some nicer single shots later =)

Hi guys, wanted to make my first post here, I have read every page of this thread and really loved it what you guys have done. I was originally gonna buy a hp, gateway, ect. as a matter of fact i did buy a gateway that i ended up returning. Thought to myself, "why not just build one?"
So I spent all last week doing the holes and painting the case little by little during my breaks at work. And all of this weekend putting this all together. This is my first ever build and mod. I will post pics a bit later, the wife has my camera and the pics are in there. plus i need to figure out how to post them first LOL
